Hello! Can you update this section <https://blog.jetbrains.com/amper/2025/04/amper-update-april-2025/#update-your-existing-projects> to include that for Gradle-based Amper project, you have to set compose version to 1.6.10 otherwise it will not work!

Thank you! :)

Just in case, this is already in the "breaking changes" section in the <https://github.com/JetBrains/amper/releases/tag/v0.6.0|release notes>. The blog post was mostly about the standalone Amper build tool.

But thanks for pointing that out, I'll check what we can do about the post

<@U018EBM48M9> by the way, with a different Compose version, you should get an error message immediately describing the problem and what to do. Was it unclear to you? Is there any way we could improve it?

I received the error from the compiler, but I initially thought it was a bug. I checked the post to see if there was anything related to it and eventually found that it’s actually a known limitation mentioned in the GitHub release notes.

Mmh strange, you shouldn't receive a compiler error but an error from the Amper Gradle plugin, like this:

&gt; Gradle-based Amper does not support Compose version 1.7.3. The only supported version is 1.6.10. Either switch to Standalone version of Amper or set the Compose version to 1.6.10 explicitly.
Is this what you got?

Since the post already mentions the Gradle-based Amper dependencies, I thought it would be helpful to update it with a note about this limitation, as it’s referenced in the GitHub release notes.

Ah, this is fair. I forgot we had that part. <@U05RAPGGJAK>, maybe we could inform users about the breaking changes in Gradle-based Amper in the update section? There are 2 things:
1. the minimum Gradle version is now 8.7, and 
2. Compose must be set explicitly to 1.6.10.

Updated the blog post to include these instructions for Gradle-based projects :+1:
